How come I see my own github avatar in the designed editor along with others? I assume people also visiting the builder? Not very cool if I may say so.
I think those are placeholders, lol

#32If you use Omarchy, the 3.8 update includes dynamic theming for Zed. It's very cool: https://github.com/APS6/omazed
That is cool. It's a shame DDH is who he is, which stops me using it.
The fact that he's so anti-immigration as an immigrant himself is so odd. My rather negative interpretation is he doesn't consider himself to be an immigrant which screams white supremacy.

#33This feels shallow, but one of the biggest things keeping me from using zed is the lack of a good default dark theme. The defaults all feel very low contrast, gray on gray that makes the experience feel dull and off putting to me, even if the editor itself is great.
Zed generally feels very engineer-designed and not in a good way.

#34Re: Zed Editor Theme-Builder
#35I'm extremely glad to see something like this. I've tried to use Zed so many times, and this might sound neurotic -- but there are just so many little theming things that make a difference to me. For example, https://imgur.com/a/ia2GCgg -- top is VSCode, bottom is Zed. Both using Svelte, and using a similar theme. - Angle brackets are a different color - Capitalized built-in components are a different color - Boolean…
I don't use zed or svelte, but this looks like the zed picture is missing a treesitter parser for svelte. Many editors have basic regex-based highlighting for many languages, and optional, more advanced, highlighting available through extensions. You may also get some semantic highlights provided by a language server if your editor uses the Language Server Protocol as well. I found one extension from a web search. Di…
It's been a while, but from what I remember you need that extension for any highlighting at all, and that screenshot is with it installed. Also, if I recall, it's something about that extension using an outdated treesitter parser or something along those lines.

#36Got Zed for the first time last week. Turned it on and said “the visuals are so perfect I have nothing to change.” The defaults are amazing.

#37I really would like semantic highlighting. E.g. i want to highlight definitions of types/methods in a different/stronger way than usages.

Zed has semantic highlighting: https://zed.dev/docs/semantic-tokens
It was added a few months ago if I remember correctly.

#39Does Zed have "I work for corp where ie. only github copilot is allowed, I don't want free auto completions or anything that sends code to 3rd party" flag?
Yes you can disable Zed AI and connect to Github Copilot through the LLM Providers UI
Can you now? I've tried to keep "AI" machine assist features on, but disable "Zed AI" provider, keeping only non-cloud LLMs as an option.
Last time I checked (about half an year ago) it was hardcoded and unconditional, so disabling it required a patch.

#40tried using zed, didn't understand how to set up claude code integration, went back to vscode where setting up claude code is trivial
Use the command palette to pick "agent: toggle" - that'll open the agent pane. Pick "Claude Agent" from the dropdown at the top if you see the Zed agent. Should be all you need.
